Travel Tip Thursday #4: Try CouchSurfing

There are two things that stretch our resources while travelling: transportation and accommodation. Now imagine having an absolutely FREE accommodation? That is one of the things CouchSurfing can offer PLUS of course my fave- culture exchange. But let me focus on “offering a couch/bed/sofa/room to total strangers for free.” Where? Anywhere in the world where there is a couchsurfer. I’ve used it a lot of times and it has helped me to go into places I never dreamed of. Plus I met some cool travelers/backpackers along the way. Don’t worry it’s safe!

The groups under CouchSurfing are helpful too for you get to know events, promos, gatherings in and around the city.

Great tip James! I've been a member for over 2 years and I have enjoyed every single experience I have had in CS. It's truly life changing. I just hope people will understand that it's not just for traveling for cheap but also to participate in a awesome global community and share cultural experiences. Thanks for sharing!
